Vidu Launches Q4 Preview, Making Flagship AI Video Creation Accessible to Everyone
We are officially opening access to Vidu Q4 Preview.
As the first preview release in the Vidu Q4 series, Vidu Q4 Preview introduces comprehensive upgrades across character performance, cinematic language, complex visual effects, and creative efficiency. We are bringing three of its most distinctive capabilities to creators first: more expressive acting, more dynamic camera work, and more impactful visual effects.
From subtle dramatic scenes to fast-paced action, characters now move and emote with greater naturalness and vitality. Camera movement is not only smoother, but also more attuned to narrative rhythm and dramatic tension. Complex effects such as explosions, fireworks, and particles blend more naturally into each scene.
Vidu Q4 Preview also supports up to three reference audio clips, 15 reference images, and ultra-high-definition 2K and 4K output. Together, these capabilities improve consistency across characters, voices, environments, camera work, and effects, helping creators move more efficiently from an initial idea to a high-resolution final delivery.
Expressive Acting, Emotion in Every Voice
With Vidu Q4 Preview, we have further enhanced the nuance and emotional impact of character performance.
The model renders gaze, facial expression, emotion, and body movement with greater precision, producing performances that feel more natural and coherent across a wide range of scenes. Whether conveying restrained emotion or handling fast-paced combat, running, and confrontation, characters maintain stronger continuity in both motion and emotional expression.
Voice is an essential part of character performance. Vidu Q4 Preview supports up to three reference audio clips, preserving a consistent vocal identity while capturing variations in tone, pacing, and emotion. This brings voice and performance into closer alignment, allowing characters to come fully alive in both form and sound.
Prompt
Using the voice from [@Audio 1] and the character in [@Image 1], say in Chinese: I want you to understand that you are very important to me.
Reference audio
Cinematic Storytelling. Electrifying VFX.
Vidu Q4 Preview also brings a deeper understanding of cinematic language and complex visual effects.
Across dynamic camera moves, multi-shot sequences, and continuous action, the model can orchestrate shots more naturally in response to both on-screen content and narrative rhythm. Push-ins, pull-outs, pans, tracking shots, orbiting moves, changes in shot scale, and seamless cuts flow together coherently, allowing the camera to do more than record action—it helps convey emotion and move the story forward.
For complex effects, explosions, fireworks, energy, and particles feature richer detail and greater visual impact. They integrate naturally with character movement, spatial composition, lighting, and shadow, supporting professional use cases across advertising, short-form drama, animated comics, film, and television production.
Multiple References, Freely Combined for Complex Ideas
This release introduces new product capabilities to Vidu Q4 Preview, with support for up to 15 reference images or subjects and three reference audio clips.
Creators can flexibly combine references for characters, environments, props, costumes, visual styles, and voices. In projects involving multiple characters, many elements, or complex creative setups, the model better preserves subject identity and overall stylistic consistency, making ambitious ideas easier to express accurately.
Combined with 2K, 4K, and 10-bit ultra-high-definition output, Vidu Q4 Preview delivers finer detail, richer tonal depth, and stronger overall aesthetics—providing more complete support from creative testing through high-spec final delivery.
From $0.014/sec, Up to 5x Output on the Same Budget
We believe progress in frontier video models should mean not only better results, but also broader access and greater creative freedom.
Vidu Q4 Preview launches at prices as low as $0.014/sec. From early creative tests to ultra-high-definition delivery, creators can select the generation tier that best fits each stage of production, achieving a more practical balance among quality, efficiency, and cost.
Creative testing now enters the sub-yuan era. Creators can validate character, camera, and visual-effects concepts at lower cost, giving more ideas the opportunity to be explored.
2K and 4K generation also moves into a more accessible price range. High-spec visuals are no longer reserved for a small number of hero assets; they can be used more broadly in commercial video production.
With a wider range of generation options and more accessible pricing, Vidu Q4 Preview aims to lower the barrier to professional video creation, enabling creators to test more directions and produce more content with the same budget.
On an equivalent budget, creators can generate up to approximately five times as much content. Please refer to the Vidu website for full pricing and launch offers.
Built with creators, from Day One.
As a Preview release, Vidu Q4 will continue to evolve.
From day one, we want to place the model in creators’ hands and refine it together through real creative needs and production scenarios. Every generation, every finished work, and every piece of feedback helps us better understand what creators truly need from a video generation model.
Vidu Q4 Preview is designed not only to generate images, but to bring characters fully into their roles, give the camera a stronger voice, and make visual effects more emotionally compelling.
Going forward, we will continue to improve model capability and creative efficiency. By combining greater expressiveness with a lower barrier to entry, we hope to make frontier video generation technology practical and accessible at scale—and help more creators realize true creative freedom.
